[Verse 1]
E A E
When I was 17
F#m
I saw a magazine
F E
It had those English Boys
A E
Who had long hair
A E
When I was on my own
A
They moved into my town
F#m E
And I just called them up
A
And they'd be there
A E
In 1969
F#m
I had a lousy time
F E
I listened to the songs
A E
Read letters sent from Nam
E A E
Now peace and love were gone
A
The tired soldiers home
F#m E
Ideal society
A
Gunned down the 70s
D E
Does it feel the same to you?
D E
Why do you act the way you do?
D E
Pack it up or pack it in
F#m
There's no excuse
[Chorus]
D E
Could the hands of time reverse?
D E
Would we wake or take the ride
D E
And again speak with one voice?

One week hung up superb

Said maybe not
